let’s bring back the term “cats” when referring to a group of people (i.e. “see you cats later”)

pros:

  1. it’s gender neutral
  2. you get the chance to look like a cool jazz musician
  3. you can compare all your friends to cats (always good)

cons:

  1. ????

it makes sense since, from what i’m aware, everybody wants to be a cat, because, apparently, a cat’s the only cat who knows where it’s at

this is literally both sides of any political argument

This is literally how the average tumblr user’s mindset works

One of these sides was pretty objectively right though.

Don’t you love it when a group of people violently repelling confirmed murderers from their community and the group of confirmed murderers (who expressly in the narrative came to steal resources) are portrayed as ‘equally bad and wrong’?

Also can we just pay attention to the part where “they are evil” and “they can’t be trusted” are IN NO WAY the same thing?  The English are saying “they’re not like us, so we already know everything we need to know about them and can proceed with their destruction” and the Native Americans are saying “they’re not like us, so we need to stay alert and pay attention because they might not have the same cultural assumptions that we do.”  HOW is this equivalent AT ALL?

Mike Huckabee’s comments about transgender bathroom laws have recently gained attention on social media. I have avoided making a formal video about transgender bathrooms, but I decided that I would discuss it in light of his comments

In this video I discuss Mike Huckabee’s comments, my experience as a trans woman using the women’s restroom and how transphobia/queerphobia is taught to children who of course become adults like Mike Huckabee who believe that trans women are predators.

I wish I knew who first picked up on the queer-coded Disney villain thing, because that person deserves so many citations by now. I know I’ve been seeing it for at least 15 years around the internet on various social media.

Here’s an interesting blog about the complex visual coding of Disney villains.

Well to be fair, queer coding is something that I’ve known about before examining Disney Villians closely. A lot of this exists outside of Disney. a lot of literature written about vampires, for example, includes queer coding.

Well yeah but I think we should be more critical of it in children’s media because the effect is more harmful when we get it earlier. Disney however is by no means the only one that aims it at children; Him from Powerpuff Girls is a particularly blatant example, but even the English dub of Frieza from Dragonball Z is pretty clearly queer coded.
